Hi Everyone,

The guys at Iva.co.uk have asked me to write some new articles for the website. The idea is to share advice on common situations people face while paying off IVAs.

I am looking for one person to speak to me on each of the following topics:

- How I got into debt, why I chose an IVA and the impact it's had on my life.

- IVAs and relationships- how my partner/family and I face debt together.

- What I've learnt about dealing with creditors and managing my money differently.

This would involve a chat on the phone for 20 minutes or so, and as a thank you, we'll send you £25 of shopping vouchers.

The articles with be published on this website, but you can be completely annonymous if you wish.

Ideally I'd like to speak to people today, so if you're interested, get in touch. Just send an email to jen.a.coles@gmail.com, specificying which topic, your telephone number, and a good time to call you.

Thanks for reading.

I spoke to Jen the other day (after my interview) she does have a day job too and was freelancing for iva.co.uk so maybe only at weekends she'll see this?
